About The Role

The Head of Tech Advisory ( Product) is the front door of People Tech for the business. This role leads the function responsible for evaluating, shaping, and prioritising all incoming demand from the People organisation — ensuring that only well-scoped, high-value, and strategically aligned initiatives enter the People Tech delivery pipeline.

Tech Advisory ( Product) is organised by HR domain cluster, not by technical function. The Head leads a team of 3–4 Domain Advisors, each owning a cluster of HR domains and acting as the single point of contact for those business stakeholders. The Head coordinates the team, owns portfolio intake quality, and reports directly to the Director.

This is a business-facing leadership role that requires deep credibility on both sides of the table — trusted by HR leaders as a strategic partner, and respected by the People Tech team as a rigorous filter that protects delivery quality.
